Most of these episodes are well constructed and very informative. The technique of incorporating reenactments, eyewitness interviews, scientist's & skeptic perspectives keeps the stories entertaining in an often unsettling way. Like, " Holy sh*t! That one had to be real!" Only one or two episodes fall short, mostly because they're short segments that skimp on this additional contextual analysis. Lots of lesser known (to me at least) incidents discussed along with the classics like Roswell.

Most of the reenactments are portrayed with a respectable degree of fidelity - refreshing for mass media

on such a topic. On the other hand, while the breadth of treatment over multiple subjects is typically TV-attention-span engaging, they all suffer from the medium's inherent shallowness and inability/unwillingness to satisfactorily investigate and explore. However, this collection does provide a useful visual primer, and some fascinating glimpses of historic sightings.

Incidentally, the Robert Stack appreciation included in all these sets is a wonderful, heart-felt addition. However, I cannot say the same for the few commentaries. None add anything worthwhile to the background of the events themselves - as the truly interested would hope to discover - but instead provide the producers with an opportunity to congratualte themselves on jobs well done.

So, level your expectations and you will better appreciate these nicely done presentations. As far as narration, music, photography, editing and special effects are concerned I doubt we will ever see much better quasi-documentary results from network televsion.

All these CDs for a modest price. There are some excellent UFO documentaries on these CDs and it is well worth the price. Unsolved mysteries usually did a great job on their documentaries. These stories are some of the best out there on UFOs.

I was a huge fan of the Robert Stack "Unsolved Mysteries" episodes when I was younger. I was absolutely thrilled to find these episodes on DVD and couldn't wait to get them all. I remembered many of the episodes from my youth and others were new to me. These are great for binge watching. The casing isn't the greatest, but as long as you store them properly, they should hold up.

In my ongoing search for quality documentary series that are free of hype, sensationalism and annoying editing effect (shaky camera movements, rapid zoom ins/outs, fast forwarding, flashing bright screens between shots and other useless visual pollution) I recently bought the "Unsolved Mysteries: UFOs" DVD collection. Unsolved Mysteries was a popular TV program investigating real-life mysteries, missing persons, conspiracy theories, unsolved crimes, and unexplained paranormal phenomena like alien abductions, ghosts, and UFOs. The program was hosted by Robert Stack, and was shown from 1987 to 2002. I occasionally watched it during the late 1980s and early 1990s and even taped a few episodes.

In 2004 a "UFOs" DVD set was released which contains all the best UFO segments from the program (26 segments on 4 DVDs, 360 minutes). The Unsolved Mysteries team investigated many famous UFO sightings including the Rendlesham forest incident, Allagash Abductions, Roswell, Area 51, Phoenix lights and many others. I really enjoyed watching all 26 segments, some of which are very captivating. They are all high quality - especially the actual reconstruction of events based on eyewitness testimony is impressive. All stories investigated are presented in a serious, free of sensationalism, and a fairly objective manner. If you are interested in the UFO phenomena you will most likely enjoy watching this UFO DVD collection.

These are so well-made so still today they are great and well made. I recommend that to everyone with good taste. I miss this and other decent shows. I have gladly cut off my TV/cable services about 3 years ago and will never waste another penny on the garbage. Thank God for these DVDs and other good shows. I think Amazon has the old series called One Step Beyond. I am going to look and see If they got it... I recommend that to everyone too. (True stories, a lot better than Twilight Zone)
